Gloria Allred Slaps Back Warner's Robinov

Noted women’s rights attorney Gloria Allred just gave me this statement in response to what I’ve posted about Warner Bros president of production Jeff Robinov articulating a new decree that women won’t be hired as the leads in his studio’s movies: “If that’s what he said, when movies with men as the lead fail, no one says we’ll stop making movies with men in the lead. This is an insult to all moviegoers and particularly women. It is truly unfortunate that women get blamed for decisions which are made by men. Instead of taking responsibility for their own lack of judgment about which scripts to make, directors to hire and budgets to OK, some men in the movie industry find it easier to place blame for their lack of success on women leads and to exclude talented female actors from the top employment opportunities in Hollywood in favor of macho males. If that studio confirms that their policy is to now exclude women as leads, then my policy would be to boycott films made by Warner Bros.”
